file system or http

hello, 
currently we are reading in our channels for out iplanet portal using the
Xalan parser, we get our rdf files using a url connection (http).  Is there
a faster way to get at these files, Like directly from the file system?  It
looks like the parser wants a url connection.

 
Regards,
 
Travis D. Falls
